SYDNEY WALKS

Sydney's best walks take in the
harbour, CBD and coastal beaches

Sydney is the best city in the world for walking because of its spectacular harbour and coastal walks, and there are probably more defined walking paths in Sydney than any other city in the world.

Walking is also the best way to see Sydney's main attractions, which are mostly within the inner harbour and close to the Sydney CBD.

We've structured this part of the Sydney.com.au website to give you an idea of what walks you can expect to do given the length of your stay. We've also focussed on walks that will reward you the most with stunning views and places and items of interest.

We've included lots of pictures to give you an idea of what you can expect visually from the walks.

The Rocks Walk
The most interesting of the city walks and one not to be missed. This takes you through the area that was Sydney (and Australia's first) first settlement and includes fascinating laneways and small passages that began life as soldiers barracks and portable hospitals, but which are now host to a network of appealing cafes and shops.

Circular Quay to Barangaroo Reserve and Darling Harbour
A longer walk around the inner-harbour western foreshores starting at Circular Quay, under the Sydney Harbour Bridge at Dawes Point, through the new Walsh Bay Wharf complex, into Barangaroo Reserve and on to Darling Harbour.

LOWER NORTH SHORE Kirribilli to Lavender Bay
This short walk takes you from the Kirribilli ferry station at Jeffrey Street around the foreshore and under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past Luna Park and on to Lavender Bay with the option of a visit to Wendy's Secret Garden.

COASTAL WALKS Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach
A coastal walk between two of Sydney's most important southern beaches along rocky foreshores and cliffs, highlighted by magificents views, exquisite rock formations, overhanging rock ledges and plant and rock textures all bathed in brilliant light.
